Outage

I’m getting really tired of not having internet. The outage started with the storm this past Wednesday and each time someone calls it gets responded by the stupid link that says that there is an outage. Yes. I know there is an outage. Why is it taking 4 + days to fix it. And no one can give me answer other than sending the “outage map” which by the way does absolutely nothing. Cox customers should be getting compensation for something we pay for and people can’t even fix it.

    Agree 100%!!  I’m so tired of coz and their antiquated equipment and costly overcharges.  Can’t wait ATT gets fiber over here.  Cox is the only option and they don’t respond kindly to credit requests like they once did.  I remember a time well before private equity and recapitalization events, where cox was 100% customer focused and cared about infrastructure.   Now unfortunately it’s about $$$.  I’m hopeful we get Internet restored soon.  I rely on it to work remotely.  Cox goes down all the time over here and I’ve had multiple techs tell me it’s because cox hasn’t upgraded the equipment in this area in forever.

      Luckily At&t is installing fiber in my neighborhood because I have dealt with Cox Communications crappy service and even crappy customer service for far too long, nearly 20 years too long.  Pisz off Cox.

  • I have been dealing with internet problems for two days now. The internet keeps going down and always saying there’s an outage.🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️
